Several months ago @steemitblog started with the Engagement Challenges where they wanted to generate interaction on the platform organically and reward people for it... After this initiative there was no real way to measure the interaction of people, so I developed a system to record people's activity and with this data publish a weekly interaction report which I called "Make Noise".
At the beginning, we rewarded the 5 most active users with small votes from communities like original colombia, recreational steem and latin community; In addition, the friend @inspiracion offered votes with @steemcurator03 which was very motivating and since the account was in disuse, it was perfect to give her something to vote for. Over time we refined the rules and were able to increase support for the first 10 Steemians which made the project more motivating. Times changed and all the steemcurators were reassigned, so the bulk of the support was no longer available. Looking for alternatives, I contacted the Steemit team and managed to get a special sheet to nominate the 10 Steemians to booming weekly. Until then the most committed have been receiving support frequently if they are able to dominate the top with the largest number of posts and comments possible, you are able to check more visiting #makenoise tag.
Today, 35 editions later, I am making this post in order to request to keep that special sheet of 10 weekly nominations to reward interaction, reaffirming my commitment to the growth of the platform and to supporting the users who live here. And in case of being able to increase the amount, I would be willing to accept it, this initiative is 100% dedicated to rewarding the effort that each one of us puts into the platform.
It's a good time to make noise!
